Pros: Generally good information albeit brief at times--not enough substance Cons: Too many pharmaceutical ads--length of articles could be increased
"I no longer subscribe to Prevention--however do occasionally buy at newstand to see if some of my "cons" have been reduced. This magazine has great alternative information but has so many ads for drugs--it seems to be a contradiction in and of itself. Readers of magazines of this type are generally interested in "Holistic/alternative" health and where does one find a magazine truly dedicated to that --including good factual medical support. Dr Weil's column is great as he generally gives both sides! I will continue to purchase the magazine off and on."

Pros: Articles explore alternative therapies in a succinct way Cons: Way too many ads for drug companies, too much emphasis on weight loss
"I always loved Prevention Magazine because it always emphasized alternative therapies and self-help. But I am sorry to say I won't be renewing my subscription. I came to this conclusion for two reasons: (1) There are an enormous number of huge advertisements for prescription drugs. This does not seem to fit in with Prevention's approach to health. (2) The magazine incessantly harps on weight loss. Every cover has at least a couple stories on "Flat Bellies", "Easy Weight-Loss Moves", "Lose Those Ten Pounds," etc. Every cover model is a too-skinny or anorexic woman. This emphasis does not fit with Prevention's emphasis on "health", but instead panders to the American obsession with weight."

"This magazine is wonderful. It holds wonderful tips for exercise and eating well. The best part is it is smaller than other magazines, so I can throw it in my purse and go."
